• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Pennsylvania sales tax once they reach the state threshold: At least $100,000 in annual Pennsylvania gross sales, measured by calendar year; there is no transaction-count test. Sales and Use Tax Bulletin 2019-01; Act 13 of 2019
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
• Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Wormleysburg, that means asking Cumberland County and the Borough of Wormleysburg. Official source
